成都国际赛马主题旅游空间的发展研究——基于迪拜迈丹赛马的启示与思考

基于迪拜迈丹赛马场的发展经验,运用实地考察、参加记者招待会、文献资料等方法对成都温江赛马主题旅游空间进行研究分析。发现成都赛马旅游空间存在问题有:赛事举办方对赛马赛事的宣传力度不足;未组建专业的赛事组织管理团队;赛马场没有固定的年赛事周期;国内赛马、骑师不能参与成都迪拜世界杯的竞逐感到遗憾。建议:通过新闻媒体等方式加大赛马赛事的宣传,努力提高赛马赛事的知名度;借助明星效应来提高旅游目的地和赛马赛事的影响力;加强赛马场的科学化、现代化管理;政府做好引导作用,开展慈善公益性马彩。     

Rogues of the Racecourse

This article focuses on the reporting of racecourse crime, exploring the shifting cultural contexts in which the press constructed outbreaks of metropolitan gang-related crime. The first part of the article looks at the extended coverage of what became known as the ‘racecourse wars’, concentrating on three key themes which permeate the accounts of racecourse crime between 1920 and 1925: the organisation of crime, the use of firearms and the mobility of criminals. The coverage of these events, which can be traced across a number of different newspapers, was often described in ways that reflected concerns about the organisation and professionalisation of crime. After 1925, despite continuing outbreaks of violence and racecourse-related crime, the press coverage subsided. However, in 1936 the racing men once again became ‘folk devils’, and the final part of the article explores the re-emergence of press reportage by considering the responses to the Lewes Racecourse Affray in June 1936. In this latter period, the rising influence of the American gangster film (as well as coverage of events in American cities such as New York and Chicago) meant that a newer language of gangsterdom would become increasingly embedded in British cultural forms.
